Will Power
- Synopsis
- Radio documentary. Twice a week for almost ten years 61-year-old actor Bob Smith (author of the memoir Hamlet’s Dresser) has travelled to New York City from his home in Connecticut to read Shakespeare with a group of elderly people. The students greatly enjoy unravelling the text but also use the group friendship to share their personal emotional anxieties. Producer Mark Whitaker joins his classes.
